settling the questions involved by any other means than arbitration the 604 brotherhood chairmen by a vote of approximately 3 to 1 decided to accept the president's plan of an eight hour work day payment on the same basis for overtime and the appointment of a commission authorized by congress to in quire into the other issues ttfe railroad executives after a conference with the president retired to consult and promised a definite answer to-day it is generally conceded they will reject definitely the president's proposals president wilson in a spirited address to the executives warned them that in case of a strike they were risking gov ernment ownership of rail roads w^iich ue said probably would be forced by public opin ion the crisis in the situation will be reached to-day it is the be lief here the nation faces a strike two women sought in auto death inquest over miss marchant to day to reveal pair concealed by companions says coroner on the eve of the inquest this afternoon which almost surely will bring out the whole truth there were still elements of mystery and conflicting statements about the joy ride from the house that jack built early thursday morning which

many individual railroads heard this plan outlined by the president at the white house this afternoon the executives declared they stood by the managers committee and were opposed to settlement by any means othter than arbitration president wilson in a spirited reply warned the railroad chiefs that they were risking government ownership of all railroads he added that he personally did not favor government ownership but public opinion might demand the reform the president in vigorous terms advised the railroads to accept ms plan â€” the eight-hour day and investigation by a commission of collateral issues â€” if they wished to avert government intervention by force he reminded them of the threatened strike in france two years ago when the french government called the employes to the colors and then detailed them to operate the rail roads n y c and penn r r to decide is rumor the president's more specific sug gestion waa that the railroads op erate under the eight-hour day plan for a year pending investigation by a special commission to be created by congress i the president laid emphasis upon i the danger of bringing about gov j eminent ownership of railroads by a i great railway strike which might . force the government to take over the operation of the roads in the na tional interest he stressed the fact that a national railway strike would open up the whole question of gov ernment ownership of railroads be cause the private management of them had failed the railroad executives and man agers adjourned at 11 o'clock to meet again at 9:30 to-morrow morning they discussed the president's sug gestion but did not attempt to ar rive at any decision executives prepare their side of case they were engaged in the prepa ration of a statement to be handed to president wilson to-morrow this statement it is authoritatively said will not be a reply to the president's suggestions for a settlement it will merely present the case for the rail roads it will be intended only for the president's guidance the executives and managers in tend that it shall make the president fully acquainted with their side of the controversy the statement was not completed at adjournment if the railroads refuse to accept the president's plan the brotherhoods will revert to their original demands for an eight-hour day and time and a half for overtime tho decision was

international news service st paul aug 18 if every other railroad in the country should accept the eight-hour principle we would stand out alone against it declared louis w hill president of the great northern to-night but we will not have to stand alone continued mr hill our position is the position of every other railroad in the northwest as a matter of fact it is the position of every big railroad in the coun try the railroads are going to stand solidly against the eight-hour day we never have been in the hands of a receiver yet and we are not going into a receivers hand you may be sure of that added the great northern president with em phasis mr hill was asked if the adop tion of the eight-hour principle would mean receiverships for the big railroads would cripple service that is just what it would mean it could mean nothing else we are in no position to adopt the eight hour day it would cripple our train service so that we could not oper ate ' mr hill added that the railroad men knew how to profit from their own and the experience of others however he said i can give no eight-hour day experience i wish i could have an eight-hour day for myself once but there are twenty-eight rail roads in the south that have been operating on the eight-hour basis every one of them â€” not a single exception â€” is in the hands of a re ceiver no increased rates do we want such a state of af fairs here in the northwest he i asked most emphatically we do r.ot and we are not going to have it isn't it proposed mr hill was s.sked to review the rate ques tion and possibly give the roads an increase of freight rates so that they can afford to adopt the eight ' hour day % we will get no increased freight rates replied mr hill at any rate we think we know more about running

international news service st paul aug 18 if every other railroad in the country should accept the eight-hour principle we would stand out alone against it declared louis w hill president of the great northern to-night but we will not have to stand alone continued mr hill our position is the position of every other railroad in the northwest as a matter of fact it is the position of every big railroad in the coun try the railroads are going to stand solidly against the eight-hour day we never have been in the hands of a receiver yet and we are not going into a receivers hand you may be sure of that added the great northern president with em phasis mr hill was asked if the adop tion of the eight-hour principle would mean receiverships for the big railroads would cripple service that is just what it would mean it could mean nothing else we are in no position to adopt the eight hour day it would cripple our train service so that we could not oper ate ' mr hill added that the railroad men knew how to profit from their own and the experience of others however he said i can give no eight-hour day experience i wish i could have an eight-hour day for myself once but there are twenty-eight rail roads in the south that have been operating on the eight-hour basis every one of them â€” not a single exception â€” is in the hands of a re ceiver no increased rates do we want such a state of af fairs here in the northwest he i asked most emphatically we do r.ot and we are not going to have it isn't it proposed mr hill was s.sked to review the rate ques tion and possibly give the roads an increase of freight rates so that they can afford to adopt the eight ' hour day % we will get no increased freight rates replied mr hill at any rate we think we know more about running our railroads than the government does i object of expedition is gained says chief war department dumbfounded by message that it is feared will break off the peace ne gotiations cf two countries
